À propos de cet audio

A lyrical and dreamy reimagining of Dracula's brides, A Dowry of Blood is a story of desire, obsession, and emancipation.

Saved from the brink of death by a mysterious stranger, Constanta is transformed from a medieval peasant into a bride fit for an undying king. But when Dracula draws a cunning aristocrat and a starving artist into his web of passion and deceit, Constanta realizes that her beloved is capable of terrible things. Finding comfort in the arms of her rival consorts, she begins to unravel their husband's dark secrets.

With the lives of everyone she loves on the line, Constanta will have to choose between her own freedom and her love for her husband. But bonds forged by blood can only be broken by death.

Contains mature themes.

I enjoyed this book for the most part. The language was bit flowery, which is fine, but I definitely got tired of all the similes (every other sentence was a "like . . ." simile to the point of redundancy).

The story begins with a dead Dracula with his first bride standing over his body, explaining how she came to have to kill him. What follows is a fascinating deep dive into their relationship from her "conception" to his murder. The vampire angle is interesting, of course, but the focus of the story is how abusers can manage to keep their victims to stay, and what makes victims (women especially, but not only women) want to stay, even when they live in fear of changing moods and are controlled like animals.

I recommend.

Fascinating dive into abuse but with vampires

The performance by the narrator of this book was absolutely breathtaking. The story is dark and hard but captivating and brilliant. The writing is very flowery and poetic but the setting and story lean into that and it was just beautiful. I will definitely look out for more books by the author and more audiobooks narrated by Abby Craden.

Incredible narration!

What an interesting story, I’ve never heard one about such an emotional abusive Vampire before definitely not your typical Vampire book.

It wasn’t what I thought it would been but I liked it!

This was so good! Very much a "good for her" tale about how Dracula's first wife went from loving him to wanting him dead, but with a splash of queer/polya vibes. I especially enjoyed how the story was written like a letter from Constance to Dracula explaining why she did what she did. I just wish the book was a bit longer!

A unique take on a classic tale

I really enjoyed this, my only wish is that they would describe more of what they do in addition to the characters emotions thoughts and feelings. Like they hunted, okay give me more of a story around the hunt!

Great little story, but not a ton happens
